Book Spotlight: Lucky Break - April Angel

Blurb:

Will gambling with her heart bring her luck in
love?

Lucky is a top event planner with a loving family
and the job of her dreams. But she’s not at all lucky in love. Her last
relationship ended in a spectacle she’s been trying to forget. Then a chance
encounter leads her into the arms of Jared Thomas, one incredibly sexy man who
makes more than her heart throb.

Jared loves women—he just doesn’t trust them. He’s
lived a hard life, where misplaced trust can mean death. But when he meets the
sexy Latina, he wants to get close enough to find out if she’s worthy of more
than just play time. And the gloriously hot sex doesn’t disappoint. He wants to
make her his, body, mind and soul…if two people with trust issues can stay
together long enough…

Excerpt:

Mastering the nearly
overpowering urge to grab her by the hand and haul her out of there was not an
easy task. He noticed her empty champagne flute and motioned a passing waiter
to hand her a full glass. She took a sip of the bubbly. He watched her lick her
lips again, lips he kept picturing wrapped around his cock, sucking him into
her hot mouth. He leaned forward on the table, closer to her, and inhaled. The
sexy, light scent tickling his nostrils made him think of satin sheets and
sweaty bodies.

“What did you have in mind?” he
asked.

Their gazes met. Arousal
flickered to life in the depths of her whiskey-brown eyes. The longer they
stared at each other, the brighter it blazed, beckoning him closer. His cock
jerked in his dress pants, ready for action. Hell, he sure was glad he was
behind the table, because no matter how good his poker face, he wouldn’t be
able to hide that bit of evidence from her.

She shrugged. It was a dainty,
sexy lift of her shoulders that pushed her breasts farther up her neckline.
“You seem to be the expert here.”

He narrowed his eyes. She
sounded like she was making fun of him, but she couldn’t possibly know he was
anything other than a hired table attendant. “I wouldn’t call myself a
professional.” Oh yeah, he was a lying bastard all right. “But I have
experience.”

Her gaze latched onto his lips
and slowly traveled back up to meet his. He ground his teeth and fought the
cock-hardening look she gave him. She licked her lips. “Let’s see if you’re
right in your assumption that my luck won’t last.”

“What’s in it for me, gorgeous?”

She leaned closer. Their faces
were only a foot apart now.

“What do you want?”

He wanted to close the distance, to taste her plump red lips, and
allow her sexy perfume to fill his lungs. “Alone time…” He watched her eyes
widen before he finished. “With you.”

The interest in her eyes grew,
until her pupils dilated with arousal. She gulped but didn’t respond. He
decided to taunt her into agreeing, into giving in to his wishes.

“It’s all right. It’s clear
you’re going to lose anyway. I know the game.” He grinned, and because he
couldn’t stop himself, he lifted a hand and caressed her cheek. Her skin was
baby-soft and smooth.

Her eyes widened and then
narrowed. “And if I win?”

Gotcha.

He felt like a lion that had
landed on the perfect prey. Now to reel her in. “Whatever you want.”
